Combining the strongest elements of Red Bull Racing, Red Bull Advanced Technologies and Aston Martin, this partnership is set to unite the world’s best aerodynamicists, composite experts and manufacturing masters.
Reichman said: “The opportunity to collaborate with Adrian (Newey) and Red Bull Advanced Technologies will be a fascinating experience for everyone involved. Unconstrained by F1 regulations, we have a unique chance to create a car in its most efficient form that will represent the ultimate fusion of art and technology.”
Having an illustrious Formula One career spanning nearly 30 years, and as the designer of ten World Championship winning Formula One cars, the partnership represents a new challenge for Newey.
“From the age of six I have had two goals in life – to be involved in the design of racing cars, and to be involved in the design of a super car.” Newey said. “Whilst the former ambition went on to form my career to date, the latter has always bubbled away, resulting in countless sketches and doodles over the years.
“The opportunity to now develop and realise those ideas whilst working with Marek and his colleagues from Aston Martin is tremendously exciting.It allows us to translate the technology we have developed in F1 into a new arena.”
To celebrate the partnership the RB12 F1 cars of Daniel Ricciardo and Daniil Kvyat will carry the iconic Aston Martin wings logo throughout the 2016 season, the first time the brand has been represented in Grand Prix racing since 1960.
